Verstappen top in Mexico first practice

Speaking about his approach to the start of the Grand Prix with the long 900 meter run down to turn one, Hamilton admitted that he has one eye on the championship rather than the Grand Prix saying, "We saw what happened previous year with the red auto behind, so I don't know". It's also Ricciardo's first pole since his victory in Monaco. "We had a hard day yesterday and it was a big improvement today so obviously, yesterday we were much, much further back so I wasn't expecting to be up as high as we got but the team did a great job last night in analyzing and moving forward today. I'm tripping major nut sack right now", he said.

Verstappen was rather less excited.

"The whole qualifying was cr*p", he said.

"We had the same problems from practice yesterday". "We tried to make the best of it, I thought we had enough but it's still good to be second".

Fernando Alonso had been eliminated from first qualifying at the previous three races, but the soon-to-be-departing double world champion provided some respite for McLaren by qualifying 12th.
